About: My deep, genuine love for animals is more than just a passion—it’s a way of life. From a very young age, I’ve always felt a strong connection to animals of all kinds, and that bond has only grown stronger over the years. I truly believe that every pet deserves to be treated with the same level of love, respect, and compassion as a member of the family. That’s why I make it my top priority to ensure that every pet I care for feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved. I take the time to get to know each animal on an individual level, recognizing that every pet has its own unique personality, preferences, and needs. Whether I’m caring for an energetic puppy who loves playtime, a cautious rescue learning to trust, or a senior pet who needs gentle attention and extra patience, I adapt my approach to provide the most thoughtful, personalized care possible. I go above and beyond to create a stress-free environment, building trust through consistency, kindness, and clear communication—not just with pets, but with their owners as well. I understand how important it is to feel confident in the person caring for your beloved companion, and I take that responsibility seriously. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and truly dedicated to the well-being of every animal I meet. For me, this isn’t just a job—it’s a heartfelt commitment. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing a pet happy, relaxed, and thriving under my care. Whether it’s a daily walk, an overnight stay, or just spending time keeping them company, I treat every moment with the care and attention it deserves. Right now, I’m only booking weekend stays—when I’m home 100% of the time, so your pet will never be left unattended. I also work just 2 miles away and come home on lunch breaks, so weekday care can be arranged on a case-by-case basis for those needing to extend their stay or looking for weekday care. I care for every pet as if they were my own—providing plenty of love, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. But I also understand how important it is for pets to feel secure and at ease, especially when they’re away from home. That’s why I take the time to learn about their usual routines, habits, and preferences. Whether it’s a specific feeding schedule, a favorite toy, or a bedtime ritual, I tailor my care to match what they’re used to. My goal is to make their time with me feel just like home—so they’re happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time.
About: Current dog is a mixed breed senior lady adopted at a shelter. She is deaf & arthritic and that's what makes me love her even more! Have nurtured 8 puppies at 2 weeks old when their mother passed. They were all adopted out as healthy, plump 8-week old pups. Over the years, have had several cats "adopt" us. Only have one 7 year-old now, but have had 5 cats at one time for several years. Recently retired (again) upon moving to Lake City FL from Largo/Clearwater FL. I miss a daily routine and structure to my days/weeks. Seeking to do something I enjoy and look forward to doing. I have a fenced yard for your canine fur babies, indoor litter box/boxes for the kitties. I can pick-up and return your pets in my car if you prefer I watch them at my home instead of coming over to your home.
“Lily is great! She sent many pictures and clear report of her visit. She is very patient and caring of our cat. We absolutely will book her again.”
“Kim was wonderful. She was dependable and communicative. It was so nice to be away and know she was taking great care of our pets.”
“Stephanie comes and checks on Asher twice a day , she puts his harness & leash on & takes him outside to go the bathroom & brings him back in & feeds him & waters him , she makes sure he is doing well and then she is out the door until her next visit.. she does an amazing job.. I appreciate all she does..”
About: I have been employed at an animal hospitals for 25 years and have pet sat for cats, dogs, rabbits, horses and birds over the years. I am trustworthy and reliable I am currently working full-time at an animal hospital 9 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday. I can come in the morning midday at lunchtime or after work if you’re in the area, I can also stay overnight at your home if you prefer. I do have a home with 6 acres however I do not have a fenced yard so I prefer to care for pets in your home. They are often less stress when they are at home in their own environment and seem much happier at their own home.
About: To me, animals are the most innocent companions we have. They deserve to feel safe, understood, and loved. While I’m not a vet, I bring a deep sense of empathy and a lifelong passion for animals to every interaction. Whether it’s giving meds to a senior dog, helping a disabled pet navigate their day, or handling exotic pets with confidence, I bring calm energy and a strong sense of responsibility to every pet I care for. I work 6:30am - 3pm in Lake City, Monday-Friday. So I can do one Lake City trip and one trip in Jasper or Live Oak Monday - Friday. I am free more on the weekends so I can do at least two drop ins on the weekends if needed. I do not care for pets in my own home. But I am trustworthy and believe that an animal should be left in the environment that they are most familiar with. Removing them from their environment to a strangers will cause too much stress so I am not an advocate of bringing animals to my house. As far as my routine, once I get a new client, I will want to meet the new client and their fur child before they leave for their designated trip. It’s SO IMPORTANT they see me interact with their owner and know that I’m not a threat especially in their own environment. This creates trust and builds a bond between myself and the animal. (Cats can be territorial too! I’ve seen them attack intruders. Don’t underestimate them.) Keeping to routine and treats go a long way are my two general rule of thumb. Animals aren’t human and they don’t like a lot of change so continuing the same routine as their owner is important as fat meal times or cleaning out litter boxes. Not to mention giving them treats after every visit lets them be excited for you to come AND leave.
